Putin botched a famous US presidential quote in denying Russian election hacks

In an interview aired Wednesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin was asked directly if Russia had interfered in the U.S. election.

His response, translated from Russian, was "Ronald Reagan once, debating about taxes and addressing Americans, said 'Watch my lips. No.'"

But Ronald Reagan isn't the one who made that line famous. Putin seemed to be referencing the famous quote "Read my lips. No new taxes" uttered by then-candidate George H.W. Bush at the Republican National Convention in 1988.
